The post at http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/can-i-disable-forums-in-groups was the best I could find, but did not answer the question.

I created the forums I want users to post to, but I do not want to allow them to create a forum when creating new groups. How do I remove this option (checkbox during group creation)?

Find the following block of code in the groups/create.php template file (in themes/bp-default, lines 49-61)

<?php if ( function_exists('bp_forums_setup') ) : ?>



.. blah blah blah..



<?php endif; ?>

Just comment that whole section out (put a /* before and a */ after this block of code) and your users will never get the option to create a forum

That worked great, thanks! I actually commented out lines 48-60 (the whole block).
